So, after yesterday I thought I was going to try and be as good as I can but then I ended up going out for the first time in ages to a meeting about making the local community better by putting on some more events. I became part of the planning committee and so had Prosecco for the first time (I personally didn’t rate it) and I am not really a big alcohol drinker anyway. As the meeting went on later and it was a pop-up Pub, I had to have a soft drink and I am allergic to sweeteners so had to have a full fat Coke (hence me going over the figures below)

Bad when you think the two drinks I had at the Pop-Up Pub had 33.7g of Added Sugars in by themselves! Damn Coke! Stupid allergies! Sweeteners are not good for anyway so not my fault I am allergic so can’t have a lot of what is classed as ‘diet-food’.

Still lots of Red here but less than yesterday. Had a few badder days than the first week but hoping that I can pull back and still look at losing some weight this week on my healthier lifestyle.
